Nankang NS 2 - User reviews

I bought Nankangs NS2 195/55R15 in 2008. I thought that these stories about chinese tyres are a total lie. Bulge on 1/4 of the tyre lenght without any mechanical failure. My fitting station said: cracked canvas! I don't recommend them at all.

Nankang NS2 were ok few days after purchase. After 6000km tyres were howling so bad that i couldnt drive on them. The start from 50km/h and the noise is as huge as on a plane. I dont recommend them. I just made an official complaint.

Very bad tyre. No grip on wet road. Very noisy. If somebody drives fast I dont recommend them for sure.

Honestly I don't know who drives on these tyres and is satisfied with them. I have Mondeo MK4 and I decided to buy that crap. Since now I cannot understand why i bought them. They were quite good when they were new. After a season of driving they seemed to me not used to much but they were veeeery noisy. I was so desperate that I even changed the rear left bearing because i couldn't believe that the noise is caused by my "new tyres". The tread is a complete disaster. They are much more noisy than asymetric ones, Braking on wet road surface is almost impossible. I dont recomend it 4 sure.

Nankang NS2 behave realy well when it comes to driving on dry road . As for driving on wet asphalt you must be careful because you may lose handling realy fast. If you want to brake on wet road surface better pray because you will dont have any handling. You shouldn't save money by buying these tires. I dont recommend them for sure.!!!!

In general I can compare Nankang NS 2 to my previous Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. One tyre has blown away so I had to buy 2 new tyres to fit my front axis. My choice has fallen on Nankang NS 2. Why? My last tyres were second hand ones, which actually effected with shorter life of those tyres. I was looking for 2 new tyres for not more than 120 GBP. Before I bought Nankang NS 2 I have read a lot of reviews and most of them were positive. I drove about 3000 miles right now and I have to say that Nankang NS 2 are awesome. Somebody wrote here that they are crap. I do not agree. With my 130bhp Ibiza they perform absolutely fine.

Hello I am writing this review for people in a similar situation as I was. Nankang tires were terrible. Fortunately Oponeo solved my problem in a very professional way. They took the tire back, examined it and found my right. I was offered three choices: cash, new Nankangs or other tires. I chose the third option and I took Pirelli Cinturato P7. Now I'm very happy with my Pirelli tires and i strongly recommend Oponeo as your tire supplier. Many thanks to Oponeo crew!
